It is becoming imperative how society can best integrate across the natural and built environments to provide a growing demand for food, energy and water while maintaining key ecosystem functions and services. The U.S. and China have the largest economies and drive the rates and patterns of global resource utilization, energy consumption, and environmental degradation. The US and China share responsibility for developing realistic goals, effective strategies, and practical protocols for the best solutions for global energy, climate, food, and environmental problems that transform the production and use of limited energy and ecosystem resources.

  • Towards Effective and Efficient Learning at Scale
    Effective and Efficient Learning at Scale Adams Wei Yu AUGUST 2019 CMU-ML-19-111 Machine Learning Department School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Thesis Committee: Jaime Carbonell, Co-Chair Alexander Smola, Co-Chair (Amazon) Ruslan Salakhutdinov Quoc Le (Google) Christopher Manning (Stanford) Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Copyright c 2019 Adams Wei Yu This research was supported by a grant from the Boeing Company, a fellowship from the Nvidia Corporation, a fellowship from the Snap Inc, a fellowship from the Thomas and Stacey Siebel Foundation and a Carnegie Mellon University presidential fellowship. Keywords: Large Scale Optmization, Deep Neural Networks, Machine Reading Compre- hension, Natural Language Processing To my beloved wife, Yanyu Long and son, Ziheng Yu. iv Abstract How to enable efficient and effective machine learning at scale has been a long- standing problem in modern artificial intelligence, which also motivates this thesis research. In particular, we aim at solving the following problems: 1. How to efficiently train a machine learning model? 2. How to speed up inference after the model is trained? 3. How to make the model generalize better? We approach those problems from two perspectives: models and algorithms. On one hand, we design novel models that are intrinsically fast to train and/or test. On the other, we develop new algorithms with rapid convergence guarantee. Not surprisingly, the above three problem are not mutually exclusive and thus solving one of them might also benefit others. For example, 1) a new model that can enable parallel computation helps accelerate both training and inference; 2) a fast algorithm can save time for hyper-parameter tuning and/or make it affordable for training with more data, which in return boosts the generalization performance.

  • Declarative Machine Learning Systems
    DECLARATIVE MACHINE LEARNING SYSTEMS Piero Molino Christopher Ré Department of Computer Science Department of Computer Science Stanford University Stanford University [email protected] [email protected] July 20, 2021 1 Introduction In the last twenty years machine learning (ML) has progressively moved from a academic endeavor to a pervasive technology adopted in almost every aspect of computing. ML-powered products are now embedded in every aspect of our digital lives: from recommendations of what to watch, to divining our search intent, to powering virtual assistants in consumer and enterprise settings. Moreover, recent successes in applying ML in natural sciences [Senior et al., 2020] had revealed that ML can be used to tackle some of the hardest real-world problems humanity faces today. For these reasons ML has become central in the strategy of tech companies and has gathered even more attention from academia than ever before. The process that led to the current ML-centric computing world was hastened by several factors, including hardware improvements that enabled the massively parallel processing , data infrastructure improvements that enabled storage and consumption of massive datasets needed to train most ML models, and algorithmic improvements that allowed better performance and scaling. Despite these successes, we argue that what we have witnessed in terms of ML adoption is only the tip of the iceberg. Right now the people training and using ML models are typically experienced developers with years of study working within large organizations, but we believe the next wave of ML systems will allow a substantially larger amount of people, potentially without any coding skills, to perform the same tasks.
